On Saturday, President Bola Tinubu will visit Jos, Plateau State, to pay his respects.
Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, confirmed the president’s visit in a statement released on Friday.
According to him, “President Tinubu will travel to Jos to participate in Nana Lydia Yilwatda Goshwe’s funeral prayers.”
He explained that Professor Nentawe Yilwatda Goshwe, the All Progressives Congress national chairman, was the child of Mama Lydia.
At the Church of Christ in Nations (COCIN) Church in Jos, Onanuga added, Tinubu would address leaders of churches throughout the North.
The President will then travel to Lagos the day after the engagements, the statement states.
Following the passing of his mother at the age of 83, Tinubu had earlier expressed his condolences to Professor Yilwatda.
He characterized Mama Lydia as a “woman of virtue who lived a life of service and community.”
The President urged the APC Chairman to accept her legacy and trust God’s will in the loss.
He prayed for the family’s strength to bear the agonizing loss and asked God for her soul’s repose.
Following his earlier decry of Plateau State’s constant killings earlier this year, Tinubu’s planned visit comes at a later date.
He decried a deadly attack in the Bassa Local Government Area in April that claimed more than 50 lives and destroyed homes.
He pleaded for strong political will to bring about the restoration of peace in the communities that are in the state of Caleb Mutfwang.
